So many adverts made by ‘western’ companies, especially anything related to toothpaste/other dental stuff, have the presenter smile with some uniform, white flat teeth. I feel like they look sort of uncanny, they just seem off-putting to me. Most people have decently flat teeth but they aren’t that fake-looking white. I have pointy canines/pre molars that definitely look completely different to the ‘perfect teeth’.

    That’s why when I got dentures I picked a few shades darker than stark white. We Americans just have some obsession with bright white teeth. I think they look phony.

      I was really happy to find vampire fang attachments this year that were actually tooth colored. They matched perfectly.

          Well, we all have an obsession with dentistry. Why more vampires don’t go into the profession themselves is the real question. People are often anesthetized for dental surgery, and drawing a pint of two would probably go unnoticed. Seems like the perfect opportunity.
